Radio station 3CV began broadcasting on the 1071 AM frequency in 1938, but Gold was never technically 3CV, because that call sign had been relinquished when 3CV was given a Section 39 supplementary FM licence and became Star FM, now known as Hit 91.9. The discarded 1071 AM frequency was purchased by a solo operator and became "Easy Listening 1071".
